[Air-L] Peace on Facebook, 2009

[Nicholas John]

Hi everyone,
"In 2009 Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab partnered with Facebook, IMVU and other technology companies to launch Peace Dot, the first technology based initiative to measure peace on the internet.” (Link <https://peaceinnovation.stanford.edu/projects/peacedot/peace-facebook-com-case-study/>) They produced a page, peace.facebook.com <http://peace.facebook.com/>, which showed the number of Facebook ties made across the lines of national and religious conflicts, and showed the results of an ongoing survey into Facebook users’ belief in the chances of world peace. This lives on as www.facebook.com/peace. 
Does anyone here know anything about this project? Did anyone here write about it back in the day? 
Is anyone here from Facebook and would like to talk to me about this page? (Please?!)
Thanks,
Nik
